Vogue Tote

Have you seen the new Vogue Knitting Crochet? My tote is one of thirty four projects in the stylish 2013 special edition of the magazine. Members of Ravelry can see all the accessories, skirts, tops, and dresses here.

As usual, I experimented first. After finishing the brown and white bag, I emailed a project proposal with a photo to Vogue. They liked it – sent me a contract and several skeins of Prism Windward yarn – and voilá!

The first version is on the left, in front of the Vogue Knitting Crochet Tote on the right.

I love your design. Both bags look beautiful. I bought the mag. just for your pattern. I’m a newbie at everything that has to do with yarn and loving every bit of it. I do have a question. What kind of yarn did you use on your first bag? I am having a hard time finding a cotton/rayon worsted yarn. There are only box type store around me(Michael’s ,A C Moore’s). I would order the Prism online but I going on vacation next week and want to start your pattern on the beach. :–). Thanks !

I, too, just bought the back issue magazine for this pattern. I didn’t see any other patterns in that issue that I want to make, but I may be surprised. And this issue is paper, not digital. I am still fond of paper.
And at the risk of a no longer in print Bead and Tapestry Crochet book, I just bought it tonight new with Amazon prime.
Thankfully, I bought More Tapestry Crochet awhile back (and printed the errata), so now I’m set.
